My first fursona was a fennec fox. I liked foxes and the standard red fox just didn't fit me.
It also fit my style of drawing slender furrs and I was starting to draw foxes with big ears so it made sense.

I later changed to a red panda. I'm not sure why entirely though.

Typically 'Cybercat' is a Caracal but with a long time. There were too many puma / cougars already and I love the cute tuffted ears. It's also a warm climate cat and I hate the cold. And as many people have told me, I rather look like a cat anyway irl.  :-[

My first fursona was a generic wolf.  I don't know why, perhaps because my friend and I would always type "aroo" for some reason and it morphed into howling.  I went through a phase where I represented myself as a winged white tiger thingy (ah, the teenage uber-fur stage...).  Then I grew up and was drawn to wolves again.  One day, I saw a picture of a red wolf and my heart leaped.  I did a little research and from then on I was a red wolf :)

For me i've always loved Wolves, ever since I was young. I often had dreams about being a werewolf and such and loved to run around at daycare or not and pretend I was. For couple of years when I first realised what I was and about the furry community I was a dragon, then I decided I was a mix of both. Now i'm back to just a wolf though, eventually i'll have a silverybluish fur but I will still sport the blue hair. <3 blue hair xD. Though I have different versions of Larc too, one is a bull version (Inspired by WoW xD love Taurens) and another is the dragon. Each of 'em have different last names that kind of correspond with their race..But my wolf side is who I truly am  :)
Multiples? on my furs?

I've always loved wolves when I was little and big dogs. I would always have stuffed dog or wolf toys and loved to learn about them, then I kinda went into a horse stage (I dont know why). When I discovered imvu it was back to wolves, but then I started to learn about coyotes and loved them for their small size and adaptation. Then of course there became my big cat stage (Still in love with Lions though) finally I just began to stick with my true animals ,Lioness and wolfess.

I started off as an Artic Fox, because I though it was cool ^-^ but after switching to a silver wolf for awhile I realised I'm much more Feral in nature and became my current fursona, a White domesticated house cat >w>

-Strokes chin.- That's a good question. Well, since I/m strongely a feline type, and being a leo, I started out as a ligress (couldn't find any lion skins then) but as time went by, of course new and better skins came to mind so I went and changed into an orange tabby cat then moved to blue which I didn't like to much. I then thought about being a Calico cat but didn't like it. Now that a lion skin was out, I was thinking on being a lioness but the look didn't fit me so finaly I became a white tigress! I didn't see much white tigress around much but I think I'm finally comfortable in my own fur.  ^_^V

The cheetah has been my favorite animal when I was 7.  My dad liked them and he coached my soccer team so he decided to call us the cheetahs.  I was curious about them and he explained that they were very fast cats.  I already loved cats and I loved speed - I wanted to be fast.  So that animal has stuck with me since.

Like I said I love cats, but it's funny because I used to hate them (when I was like 5 and 6).  I hated them so much that I tore the cat card from don't wake daddy into little pieces (I remember the card being covered with scotch tape because my parents put it back together).  I can't remember why I hated them or why I started liking them again...*shrug*  I still find the card thing funny...hehe.

Why the Midnight wolf? well, I was always a wolf with dark fur. right from birth. as for the... other influences. That's due to influences in my life. I still stay dominant wolf and I pick up traits from other species.

Fox allows me to better understand the things around me, and expand upon my ninja skills...
Panther gave me a long tail and the ability to purr and land on my feet always.
Dragon gave me wings and the ability to process scents better.
Then I have a few other mixed canine traits...

All of this meshes with my wolf for a balanced form that has all the uniqueness of an every day individual.

I dunno actually. I've liked dragons since I was very young... Plus my father was a dragon freak.... Collecting everything scaley. Eventually, after using and drawing my black dragoness fursona, someone at school pointed out that I was a furry last year in November. Being the curious dragoness I am, I looked up what a furry was and decided that  a furry is what I'll remain. Though, after discovering a cute little rodent called a sugar glider, I'm finding that I fit their traits better than I do a dragon's. I'm sort of leaning toward a fursona change, but I highly doubt it. Dragons will always have their talons in my heart. :3
